I used to have a link to a web page that had you could set your time and it would give times all over the world---anyone have a link to that site?

Do the fish still stay on the right side of the tank? I mean, if they do I can understand why you'd put the corals over there. There'd be no reason to look at the left side of the tank :lol:

Haha... now they use the whole tank... finally. :rolleye1:

Although, I doubt the clowns will ever find the anemone, as they never leave their spot next to the powerhead underneath the overflow. Well the female does, but only to try and bite me. :furious:

I just have some LPS and the anemone on the left side of the tank, and have been nervous about my SPS getting stung. Also, the flow is a little different on the left side (very direct across the top of the rockwork), and the rockwork is not as high.

Hey Scott, do you happen to have/know of a link which lists the benefits of running carbon in a reef tank?

 

[kudora]

Dunno if this is what your looking for but RH is on this thread talking about carbon.

Picture time... I just can't get the real colors with this camera. So dissapointing...

this a little better?

 

[Tswifty]

A little, but the colors just don't seem to stand out in the pictures. For instance the Pink Rim Montipora, which is located to the right of the Green Slimer Acro (the long green stick). Is a tan color with a bright neon pink/purple trim around the outer edge, but you can't see it in the picture.

This gets closer, but still isn't right:

Also the Orange Montipora caps, are much darker, the greens much brighter... The colors just don't seem to get that neon effect in the pictures.

It'll look really super kool when it all grows out. What are you using there... just epoxy? And what is gonna be your "coral" feeding regimen?

 

[Tswifty]

Thanks.

I'm using this stuff I picked up from Home Depot, and super glue I picked up at a Frag Swap. I don't think the epoxy does a good enough job on it's own.

As far as feeding goes, I just use the frozen DIY mix that we made up at a local reefer's house. It has all kinds of stuff in it for both the corals and fish. The ingredients list is on here somewhere.

 

[kudora]

K its a little warmer i cant get the color to come out on the pink monti the way you want

 

[Tswifty]

Oh I forgot to add the pictures of the Chalice Coral. This thing is growing very fast (didn't even cover the frag plug when I got it), and is wicked. It has long tentacles it extends out that can be seen once the actinic lights come on. It's a beautiful color though. I just have to keep it far enough away from evrything else so it can't cause any damage.
